Summary/Abstract: Increasing number of inter-cultural researches and frequent practices of foreign questionnaires transfer, suggest the relevance of methodological issues about survey instruments adaptation. Incorrectly translated questionnaires can result in the whole research project failure due to the lack of methodological quality. Different authors consider that competencies of survey instruments’ translation are an important premise for good measurement properties of transferred questionnaire. Nevertheless, only few attempts have been made to produce some empirical validations. This article is based on quantitative and qualitative analysis of QUISS II questionnaire on Motivation and Academic Studies Quality.
